BV 11-11 The Dark Side of Chocolate - Child Slavery
"The Dark Side of Chocolate" directed by Miki Mistrati shows that young children are still being illegally sold to cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, Africa to harvest much of the cocoa crop used by Nestle, Hershey and the major chocolate producers of the world.
In 2001, these large chocolate producers signed the Cocoa Protocol which promised to work for the eradication of child labor by 2008.
The Church of the BrethrenAnnual Conference in 2008 passed a resolution against slavery in the 21st century. That action was the 10th time that the Church of the Brethren had passed anti-slavery resolutions:. Nine other resolutions were passed from 1782 - 1857, prior to the US civil war to end slavery. The 2008 resolution made a commitment to educating ourselves and others about modern day slavery.

Chocolate sure does taste good. But a 16x9 investigation inGhana uncovers a nasty truth - many cocoa beans in that country are harvested by children. Many of those kids aren't given a choice; some are even slaves. All workers, no matter the age, live in poverty. Still taste good?

This introductory video opened TrustWomen2013 plenary on rooting out slavery in supply chains
Slavery is all around us.It's been linked to the supply chains of everyday products, from shoes and bags to matches and soccer balls. It lurks in many of the commodities that fuel the global economy: cocoa, coffee, precious metals...
Multinational supply chains are sometimes so convoluted and opaque that it's hard to pinpoint the agent or sub-contractor using slave labour.
From frozen shrimp to mobile phones, how can we be sure the products we buy weren't produced through human misery?
What can businesses -- and consumers -- do to guarantee the things in our lives are genuinely slave free?

Description:
We all strongly desire expensive products at cheap cost, leading us to shop at major retailers such as Walmart of Costco, that offer merchandise and products at a great cost. Most of us don’t think about why the product is as cheap as it is, and how the big box corporations make their money from such cheap prices. Unfortunately, the cost of a great discount is rather great in terms of ethics and morale. What is even harder to swallow is the fact that some of most basic and common products come from worlds of corruption, slave labor, and harsh discipline procedures that make any humanitarian sick. However, because these products are so common and in such high demand, it is hard to take a step back and stop the use of these things, regardless of the damage we know it is causing.
Heartbreakingly enough, chocolate is on this list. Cocoa beans mostly come from the Ivory Coast, and unfortunately it is a location where slave labor runs rampant where children under the age of 10 are forced to carry unbearable loads onto their backs. So, next time you take a bite out of your chocolate bar, take a moment to reflect on where it came from. The cocoa harvesting industry has caused numerous reports of children being abducted or going missing completely.
Next time you go looking for your next set of tires, be aware as to whether the rubber came from Liberia or not. Many of the former fighters from Liberia’s civil war became plantation owners and use slaves to cut down the trees and produce rubber in factories, which is why their products can be sold at such cheap costs. From prisoners of war and children, these plantation and factory owners have created quite a big business venture at the expense of other human beings.
If you have ever seen the movie, “Blood Diamond”, you are probably aware of just how corrupted the diamond mining business is. Using mainly child laborers, these kids work in fear everyday as they are watched over by armed guards with guns, and they live with a very real fear of getting shot. Seven third world countries around the world participate in this heinous act. Worker conditions are deplorable, and often lead to painful lung diseases. Coffee is also created from child slave labor, and the practice is conducted in several countries from Colombia and the Ivory Coast.
Tobacco is another area where families in countries, such as Kazakhstan, work long hours for just pennies a day for 13 hours. Children are often working in the fields for long hours and getting physically injured from harvesting the tobacco plants, results in cuts on their hands and abdomen, which will usually get infected not too long after.
Also, if you have ever used an electronic, companies such as Apple have been under fire lately for exporting to companies overseas where they will force their employees to work over 100 hours per week in uncomfortable conditions where they can’t sit comfortably as well as being subject to humiliation tactics in order to get their work done efficiently.
Unfortunately, for the rest of this video, it only gets worse from there. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide for yourself whether to continue to buy these products and contribute to the problem. Is it time for you to use your voice and speak out?

This is the full program of the Ghana/Benin episode of Bob Geldof's Africa, called "Cocoa, Slaves, & Gold".
I recorded this program just a couple of months before going to Ghana on my first trip in 2006/07, and thought it might give me some clues about what to expect - boy, was I wrong !!!!
I've often referred to this program as the worst Ghana PR program ever made - the first part at Fort Carolusberg/Cape Coast Castle is ok, but the rest of the program is totally negative, and it makes me wonder what the various boards that gave him permission to bring his film crew into the country were thinking, if they indeed had prior knowledge of the program synopsis.

'The Dark Side of Chocolate' is a documentary about the continued allegations of trafficking of children and child labor in the international chocolate industry.
While we enjoy the sweet taste of chocolate, the reality is strikingly different for African children.
In 2001 consumers around the world were outraged to discover that child labor and slavery, trafficking, and other abuses existed on
cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast, a country that produces nearly half the world's cocoa. An avalanche of negative publicity and consumer
demands for answers and solutions soon followed.
Two members of US Congress, Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa and RepresentativeEliot Engel of New York, tackled the issue by adding a rider to an agricultural bill proposing a federal system to certify and label chocolate products as "slave free".
The measure passed the House of Representatives and created a potential disaster for Cargill, Archer Daniels MidlandMars, Hershey's, Nestle, Barry Callebaut, Saf-Cacao and other chocolate manufacturers. To avoid legislation that would have forced chocolate companies to label their products with "no child labor" labels (for which many major chocolate manufacturers wouldn't qualify), the industry fought back and finally agreed to a voluntary protocol to end abusive and forced child labor on cocoa farms by 2005.
The chocolate industry fought back. Ultimately, a compromise was reached to end child labor on Ivory Coast cocoa farms by 2005.
In 2005 the cocoa industry failed to comply with the protocol's terms, and a new deadline for 2008 was established.
In 2008 the terms of the protocol were still not met, and yet another deadline for 2010 was set.
And in 2010?
Almost a decade after the chocolate companies, concerned governments and specially foundations spent millions of dollars in an effort to eradicate child labor and trafficking in the international cocoa
trade, has anything changed?
Miki Mistrati and U Roberto Romano launch a behind-the-scenes investigation and verify if these allegations of child labor in the chocolate industry are present today.

Slavery

Slavery is a legal or economic system in which principles of property law are applied to humans allowing them to be classified as property, to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. While a person is a slave, the owner is entitled to the productivity of the slave's labour, without any remuneration. The rights and protection of the slave may be regulated by laws and customs in a particular time and place, and a person may become a slave from the time of their capture, purchase or birth.

Today, chattel slavery is unlawful in all countries, but a person may still be described as a slave if he or she is forced to work for another person without an ability on their part to unilaterally terminate the arrangement. Such situations are today commonly referred to as "practices similar to slavery". The present form of the slave trade is commonly referred to as human trafficking.

Slavery existed before written history and in many cultures. It was once institutionally recognized by most societies, but has now been outlawed in all countries, the last being Mauritania in 2007. However, it continues through such practices as debt bondage, serfdom, domestic servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work as slaves, child soldiers, human trafficking and forced marriage. Accordingly, there are more slaves today than at any time in history, with an estimated 20 million to 36 million slaves worldwide.

Background

Cocoa plantations in Ghana and the Ivory Coast provide 80% of the world with chocolate, according to CorpWatch. Chocolate producers around the world have been pressured to “verify that their chocolate is not the product of child labor or slavery.”

In 2000, BBC aired Slavery: A Global Investigation which brought the issue of child labor in the cocoa industry to light.

In 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association and its members signed a document that prohibited child trafficking and labor in the cocoa industry after 2008. Despite this effort, numerous children are still forced to work on cocoa plantations in Africa.

In 2009, Mars and Cadbury joined the Rainforest Alliance to fight against child labor. By 2020, these major chocolate manufacturers hope to completely eradicate child labor on any plantations from which they purchase their cocoa.

Although the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 officially outlawed slavery worldwide, approximately 30 million people remain slaves today, according to the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation. These include people enslaved by debt bondage, child labor, human trafficking, forced marriage, and forced labor. With many powerful companies moving their labour overseas to exploit cheaper, less strict labour laws, the very real problem of slavery is huge . While countries like India (14 million) China (3 million) and Thailand (.473 million) rank amongst the highest offenders, it is estimated that even in the US there are about 60,000 slaves! Watch as SUPERLATIVES takes a look at 5 FamousMAJOR Companies That Use Slavery.

While we enjoy the sweet taste of chocolate, the reality is strikingly different for African children.
In 2001 consumers around the world were outraged to discover that child labor and slavery, trafficking, and other abuses existed on
cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast, a country that produces nearly half the world's cocoa. An avalanche of negative publicity and consumer
demands for answers and solutions soon followed.
Two members of US Congress, Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa and RepresentativeEliot Engel of New York, tackled the issue by adding a rider to an agricultural bill proposing a federal system to certify and label ...

Trapped in child labor, like 168 million other children worldwide, Halima, a 10-year old girl in Cote d'Ivoire, understands firsthand the back-breaking work involved in providing the raw cocoa for the candy bars we crave.
Before UNICEF stepped in, her father needed Halima's help to harvest and cure beans from cacao trees — the first steps in the long, arduous journey from farm to store.

Although the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 officially outlawed slavery worldwide, approximately 30 million people remain slaves today, according to the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation. These include people enslaved by debt bondage, child labor, human trafficking, forced marriage, and forced labor. With many powerful companies moving their labour overseas to exploit cheaper, less strict labour laws, the very real problem of slavery is huge .

BV 11-11 The Dark Side of Chocolate - Child Slavery
"The Dark Side of Chocolate" directed by Miki Mistrati shows that young children are still being illegally sold to cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, Africa to harvest much of the cocoa crop used by Nestle, Hershey and the major chocolate producers of the world.
In 2001, these large chocolate producers signed the Cocoa Protocol which promised to work for the eradication of child labor by 2008.
The Church of the BrethrenAnnual Conference in 2008 passed a resolution against slavery in the 21st century. That action was the 10th time that the Church of the Brethren had passed anti-slavery resolutions:. Nine other resolutions were passed from 1782 - 1857, prior to the US civil war to end slavery. The 2008 resolution made a commitment to educating ourselves and others about modern day slavery.

Chocolate sure does taste good. But a 16x9 investigation inGhana uncovers a nasty truth - many cocoa beans in that country are harvested by children. Many of those kids aren't given a choice; some are even slaves. All workers, no matter the age, live in poverty. Still taste good?

Everyday Products Made With Slave Labour

Description:
We all strongly desire expensive products at cheap cost, leading us to shop at major retailers such as Walmart of Costco, that offer merchandise and products at a great cost. Most of us don’t think about why the product is as cheap as it is, and how the big box corporations make their money from such cheap prices. Unfortunately, the cost of a great discount is rather great in terms of ethics and morale. What is even harder to swallow is the fact that some of most basic and common products come from worlds of corruption, slave labor, and harsh discipline procedures that make any humanitarian sick. However, because these products are so common and in such high demand, it is hard to take a step back and stop the use of these things, regardless of the damage we know it is causing.
Heartbreakingly enough, chocolate is on this list. Cocoa beans mostly come from the Ivory Coast, and unfortunately it is a location where slave labor runs rampant where children under the age of 10 are forced to carry unbearable loads onto their backs. So, next time you take a bite out of your chocolate bar, take a moment to reflect on where it came from. The cocoa harvesting industry has caused numerous reports of children being abducted or going missing completely.
Next time you go looking for your next set of tires, be aware as to whether the rubber came from Liberia or not. Many of the former fighters from Liberia’s civil war became plantation owners and use slaves to cut down the trees and produce rubber in factories, which is why their products can be sold at such cheap costs. From prisoners of war and children, these plantation and factory owners have created quite a big business venture at the expense of other human beings.
If you have ever seen the movie, “Blood Diamond”, you are probably aware of just how corrupted the diamond mining business is. Using mainly child laborers, these kids work in fear everyday as they are watched over by armed guards with guns, and they live with a very real fear of getting shot. Seven third world countries around the world participate in this heinous act. Worker conditions are deplorable, and often lead to painful lung diseases. Coffee is also created from child slave labor, and the practice is conducted in several countries from Colombia and the Ivory Coast.
Tobacco is another area where families in countries, such as Kazakhstan, work long hours for just pennies a day for 13 hours. Children are often working in the fields for long hours and getting physically injured from harvesting the tobacco plants, results in cuts on their hands and abdomen, which will usually get infected not too long after.
Also, if you have ever used an electronic, companies such as Apple have been under fire lately for exporting to companies overseas where they will force their employees to work over 100 hours per week in uncomfortable conditions where they can’t sit comfortably as well as being subject to humiliation tactics in order to get their work done efficiently.
Unfortunately, for the rest of this video, it only gets worse from there. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide for yourself whether to continue to buy these products and contribute to the problem. Is it time for you to use your voice and speak out?

This is the full program of the Ghana/Benin episode of Bob Geldof's Africa, called "Cocoa, Slaves, & Gold".
I recorded this program just a couple of months before going to Ghana on my first trip in 2006/07, and thought it might give me some clues about what to expect - boy, was I wrong !!!!
I've often referred to this program as the worst Ghana PR program ever made - the first part at Fort Carolusberg/Cape Coast Castle is ok, but the rest of the program is totally negative, and it makes me wonder what the various boards that gave him permission to bring his film crew into the country were thinking, if they indeed had prior knowledge of the program synopsis.

EDOF is partnering with the CNN Freedom Project because of its long-standing commitment to bringing greater global awareness to the problem of human trafficking.
The Freedom Project has been pivotal in not only spreading information about the issue, but it has been able to catalyze concrete action by donor countries, international organizations, NGO’s, and private foundations through passionate storytelling, investigative journalism, documentaries, and live events.

'The Dark Side of Chocolate' is a documentary about the continued allegations of trafficking of children and child labor in the international chocolate industry.
While we enjoy the sweet taste of chocolate, the reality is strikingly different for African children.
In 2001 consumers around the world were outraged to discover that child labor and slavery, trafficking, and other abuses existed on
cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast, a country that produces nearly half the world's cocoa. An avalanche of negative publicity and consumer
demands for answers and solutions soon followed.
Two members of US Congress, Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa and RepresentativeEliot Engel of New York, tackled the issue by adding a rider to an agricultural bill proposing a federal system to certify and label chocolate products as "slave free".
The measure passed the House of Representatives and created a potential disaster for Cargill, Archer Daniels MidlandMars, Hershey's, Nestle, Barry Callebaut, Saf-Cacao and other chocolate manufacturers. To avoid legislation that would have forced chocolate companies to label their products with "no child labor" labels (for which many major chocolate manufacturers wouldn't qualify), the industry fought back and finally agreed to a voluntary protocol to end abusive and forced child labor on cocoa farms by 2005.
The chocolate industry fought back. Ultimately, a compromise was reached to end child labor on Ivory Coast cocoa farms by 2005.
In 2005 the cocoa industry failed to comply with the protocol's terms, and a new deadline for 2008 was established.
In 2008 the terms of the protocol were still not met, and yet another deadline for 2010 was set.
And in 2010?
Almost a decade after the chocolate companies, concerned governments and specially foundations spent millions of dollars in an effort to eradicate child labor and trafficking in the international cocoa
trade, has anything changed?
Miki Mistrati and U Roberto Romano launch a behind-the-scenes investigation and verify if these allegations of child labor in the chocolate industry are present today.

Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,

Always saying little girl don't step into the club.
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why cause dancing's what I love.
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it getit (WHOOOOOA) (Do you like it)

Beautiful Slave Lyrics
i dont know where i am
theyve taken all that i had
smuggled in for a lucrative trade
beaten, bartered
broken in, until i obey
i used to be childlike
innocent and safe
now im someone else's treasure
a strangers pleasure
smothered in shame
succumbed with drugs
but Im not numb
all I feel is pain
is this all a dream
will i ever be the same?
can anyone hear me?
will anyone break these chains?
who will free me?
from this dark place?
does God see me?
what is His name?
will He help me?
im just a beautiful slave
my worst fear is my fate
im getting older each day
every girl too old in years
mysteriously just disappears
they never mention her name
they take away piece by piece
i dont think i have any left
ive slowly given up all hope
given in to this sleepless bed
inside these bars
i feel so seared
by each new face
how could this ever be
every memory be erased?
He can hear you
Hes seeking you,
He wants to heal you
Jesus knows the real you
Jesus Loves The Little Children
All The Children Of World
Red & Yellow, Black & White
Theyre Precious In His Sight

Bob Geldof's Africa: Cocoa, Slaves, & Gold (Ghana/Benin - 2006)

This is the full program of the Ghana/Benin episode of Bob Geldof's Africa, called "Cocoa, Slaves, & Gold".
I recorded this program just a couple of months before going to Ghana on my first trip in 2006/07, and thought it might give me some clues about what to expect - boy, was I wrong !!!!
I've often referred to this program as the worst Ghana PR program ever made - the first part at Fort Carolusberg/Cape Coast Castle is ok, but the rest of the program is totally negative, and it makes me wonder what the various boards that gave him permission to bring his film crew into the country were thinking, if they indeed had prior knowledge of the program synopsis.

Human trafficking represents a multibillion in international trade per annum and continues to be one of the fastest growing criminal industries. While undeniably a global phenomenon, the U.S., as one of the world’s leading human trafficking importers, bears a special responsibility to combat this practice.

The Dark Side Of Chocolate - Modern Slavery // Top Documentary Films. The Dark Side of Chocolate is a 2010 documentary film about the exploitation and slave trading of African children to harvest chocolate still occurring nearly ten years after the cocoa industry pledged to end it.
Cocoa plantations in Ghana and the Ivory Coast provide 80% of the world with chocolate, according to CorpWatch. Chocolate producers around the world have been pressured to “verify that their chocolate is not the product of child labor or slavery.”
In 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association and its members signed a document that prohibited child trafficking and labor in the cocoa industry after 2008. Despite this effort, numerous children are still forced to work on cocoa plantations in Africa.
In 2009, Mars and Cadbury joined the Rainforest Alliance to fight against child labor. By 2020, these major chocolate manufacturers hope to completely eradicate child labor on any plantations from which they purchase their cocoa.

Modern day slavery - Supply Chains

This introductory video opened TrustWomen2013 plenary on rooting out slavery in supply chains
Slavery is all around us.It's been linked to the supply chains of everyday products, from shoes and bags to matches and soccer balls. It lurks in many of the commodities that fuel the global economy: cocoa, coffee, precious metals...
Multinational supply chains are sometimes so convoluted and opaque that it's hard to pinpoint the agent or sub-contractor using slave labour.
From frozen shrimp to mobile phones, how can we be sure the products we buy weren't produced through human misery?
What can businesses -- and consumers -- do to guarantee the things in our lives are genuinely slave free?

Description:
We all strongly desire expensive products at cheap cost, leading us to shop at major retailers such as Walmart of Costco, that offer merchandise and products at a great cost. Most of us don’t think about why the product is as cheap as it is, and how the big box corporations make their money from such cheap prices. Unfortunately, the cost of a great discount is rather great in terms of ethics and morale. What is even harder to swallow is the fact that some of most basic and common products come from worlds of corruption, slave labor, and harsh discipline procedures that make any humanitarian sick. However, because these products are so common and in such high demand, it is hard to take a step back and stop the use of these things, regardless of the damage we know it is causing.
Heartbreakingly enough, chocolate is on this list. Cocoa beans mostly come from the Ivory Coast, and unfortunately it is a location where slave labor runs rampant where children under the age of 10 are forced to carry unbearable loads onto their backs. So, next time you take a bite out of your chocolate bar, take a moment to reflect on where it came from. The cocoa harvesting industry has caused numerous reports of children being abducted or going missing completely.
Next time you go looking for your next set of tires, be aware as to whether the rubber came from Liberia or not. Many of the former fighters from Liberia’s civil war became plantation owners and use slaves to cut down the trees and produce rubber in factories, which is why their products can be sold at such cheap costs. From prisoners of war and children, these plantation and factory owners have created quite a big business venture at the expense of other human beings.
If you have ever seen the movie, “Blood Diamond”, you are probably aware of just how corrupted the diamond mining business is. Using mainly child laborers, these kids work in fear everyday as they are watched over by armed guards with guns, and they live with a very real fear of getting shot. Seven third world countries around the world participate in this heinous act. Worker conditions are deplorable, and often lead to painful lung diseases. Coffee is also created from child slave labor, and the practice is conducted in several countries from Colombia and the Ivory Coast.
Tobacco is another area where families in countries, such as Kazakhstan, work long hours for just pennies a day for 13 hours. Children are often working in the fields for long hours and getting physically injured from harvesting the tobacco plants, results in cuts on their hands and abdomen, which will usually get infected not too long after.
Also, if you have ever used an electronic, companies such as Apple have been under fire lately for exporting to companies overseas where they will force their employees to work over 100 hours per week in uncomfortable conditions where they can’t sit comfortably as well as being subject to humiliation tactics in order to get their work done efficiently.
Unfortunately, for the rest of this video, it only gets worse from there. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide for yourself whether to continue to buy these products and contribute to the problem. Is it time for you to use your voice and speak out?

Bob Geldof's Africa: Cocoa, Slaves, & Gold (Ghana/Benin - 2006)

This is the full program of the Ghana/Benin episode of Bob Geldof's Africa, called "Cocoa, Slaves, & Gold".
I recorded this program just a couple of months before going to Ghana on my first trip in 2006/07, and thought it might give me some clues about what to expect - boy, was I wrong !!!!
I've often referred to this program as the worst Ghana PR program ever made - the first part at Fort Carolusberg/Cape Coast Castle is ok, but the rest of the program is totally negative, and it makes me wonder what the various boards that gave him permission to bring his film crew into the country were thinking, if they indeed had prior knowledge of the program synopsis.

Chocolate industry tackles child slavery

RobynCurnow explores how CNN has covered this issue over the years and its efforts to reduce child labor.
EDOF is partnering with the CNN Freedom Project because of its long-standing commitment to bringing greater global awareness to the problem of human trafficking.
The Freedom Project has been pivotal in not only spreading information about the issue, but it has been able to catalyze concrete action by donor countries, international organizations, NGO’s, and private foundations through passionate storytelling, investigative journalism, documentaries, and live events.

The Dark Side of Chocolate - Trailer

'The Dark Side of Chocolate' is a documentary about the continued allegations of trafficking of children and child labor in the international chocolate industry.
While we enjoy the sweet taste of chocolate, the reality is strikingly different for African children.
In 2001 consumers around the world were outraged to discover that child labor and slavery, trafficking, and other abuses existed on
cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast, a country that produces nearly half the world's cocoa. An avalanche of negative publicity and consumer
demands for answers and solutions soon followed.
Two members of US Congress, Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa and RepresentativeEliot Engel of New York, tackled the issue by adding a rider to an agricultural bill proposing a federal system to certify and label chocolate products as "slave free".
The measure passed the House of Representatives and created a potential disaster for Cargill, Archer Daniels MidlandMars, Hershey's, Nestle, Barry Callebaut, Saf-Cacao and other chocolate manufacturers. To avoid legislation that would have forced chocolate companies to label their products with "no child labor" labels (for which many major chocolate manufacturers wouldn't qualify), the industry fought back and finally agreed to a voluntary protocol to end abusive and forced child labor on cocoa farms by 2005.
The chocolate industry fought back. Ultimately, a compromise was reached to end child labor on Ivory Coast cocoa farms by 2005.
In 2005 the cocoa industry failed to comply with the protocol's terms, and a new deadline for 2008 was established.
In 2008 the terms of the protocol were still not met, and yet another deadline for 2010 was set.
And in 2010?
Almost a decade after the chocolate companies, concerned governments and specially foundations spent millions of dollars in an effort to eradicate child labor and trafficking in the international cocoa
trade, has anything changed?
Miki Mistrati and U Roberto Romano launch a behind-the-scenes investigation and verify if these allegations of child labor in the chocolate industry are present today.

Famous Companies That Use Slavery

*Support On PATREON*: https://www.patreon.com/SUPERLATIVES
Click here to SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/zF1PI8
----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­-----------­-----------­---------
Although the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 officially outlawed slavery worldwide, approximately 30 million people remain slaves today, according to the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation. These include people enslaved by debt bondage, child labor, human trafficking, forced marriage, and forced labor. With many powerful companies moving their labour overseas to exploit cheaper, less strict labour laws, the very real problem of slavery is huge . While countries like India (14 million) China (3 million) and Thailand (.473 million) rank amongst the highest offenders, it is estimated that even in the US there are about 60,000 slaves! Watch as SUPERLATIVES takes a look at 5 FamousMAJOR Companies That Use Slavery.

5. CLOTHING SEWING is often done by american companies going overseas and building factories that often outsource their labour to sweatshops who use slavery. Walmart has been linked to use this labour today and several companies were caught in 2000 using sweatshops in Saipan. Calvin Klein, Target, J.C. Penny and Abercrombie & Fitch just to name a few.

Beautiful Slave Lyrics
i dont know where i am
theyve taken all that i had
smuggled in for a lucrative trade
beaten, bartered
broken in, until i obey
i used to be childlike
innocent and safe
now im someone else's treasure
a strangers pleasure
smothered in shame
succumbed with drugs
but Im not numb
all I feel is pain
is this all a dream
will i ever be the same?
can anyone hear me?
will anyone break these chains?
who will free me?
from this dark place?
does God see me?
what is His name?
will He help me?
im just a beautiful slave
my worst fear is my fate
im getting older each day
every girl too old in years
mysteriously just disappears
they never mention her name
they take away piece by piece
i dont think i have any left
ive slowly given up all hope
given in to this sleepless bed
inside these bars
i feel so seared
by each new face
how could this ever be
every memory be erased?
He can hear you
Hes seeking you,
He wants to heal you
Jesus knows the real you
Jesus Loves The Little Children
All The Children Of World
Red & Yellow, Black & White
Theyre Precious In His Sight
Jesus Loves The Little Children Of The World
Hes Got The Whole WorldIn His Hands

The Dark Side of Chocolate - Child Slavery

BV 11-11 The Dark Side of Chocolate - Child Slavery
"The Dark Side of Chocolate" directed by Miki Mistrati shows that young children are still being illegally sold to cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, Africa to harvest much of the cocoa crop used by Nestle, Hershey and the major chocolate producers of the world.
In 2001, these large chocolate producers signed the Cocoa Protocol which promised to work for the eradication of child labor by 2008.
The Church of the BrethrenAnnual Conference in 2008 passed a resolution against slavery in the 21st century. That action was the 10th time that the Church of the Brethren had passed anti-slavery resolutions:. Nine other resolutions were passed from 1782 - 1857, prior to the US civil war to end slavery. The 2008 resolution made a commitment to educating ourselves and others about modern day slavery.

Abby speaks with BTS producer, Manuel Rapalo, about a few of the most mysterious unexplained deaths in DC's history, including the case of Bruce Ivins who was linked to the 2001 anthrax attacks and Deborah Jean Palfrey, the infamous Madam of DC. Abby then calls out Nestle once again, this time over the company's commissioning of cocoa famers in Ivory Coast who force thousands of underage workers to harvest under conditions best described as child slavery. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Norman Solomon, founder of RootsAction.org and Director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, about the potential conflict of interest between the new Washington Post owner, Jeff Bezos and a recent $600 million CIA contract with his other company, Amazon.

The Dark Side Of Chocolate - Modern Slavery // Top Documentary Films

The Dark Side Of Chocolate - Modern Slavery // Top Documentary Films. The Dark Side of Chocolate is a 2010 documentary film about the exploitation and slave trading of African children to harvest chocolate still occurring nearly ten years after the cocoa industry pledged to end it.
Cocoa plantations in Ghana and the Ivory Coast provide 80% of the world with chocolate, according to CorpWatch. Chocolate producers around the world have been pressured to “verify that their chocolate is not the product of child labor or slavery.”
In 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association and its members signed a document that prohibited child trafficking and labor in the cocoa industry after 2008. Despite this effort, numerous children are still forced to work on cocoa plantations in Africa.
In 2009, Mars and Cadbury joined the Rainforest Alliance to fight against child labor. By 2020, these major chocolate manufacturers hope to completely eradicate child labor on any plantations from which they purchase their cocoa.
